Identification of two isolates of Trichinella recovered from humans in France.
Two Trichinella isolates from humans in France were characterized using reproductive capacity indices and a combination of molecular methods. The isolate TRLL hybridized with the pig type-specific probe pPra and had pig type restriction profiles and rDNA patterns. It was therefore identified as a domestic or pig type isolate. The isolate CTRD-85 had similarities and differences in restriction profiles and rDNA patterns with both AF1 and Trichinella nelsoni and was identified as a sylvatic type. Pattern comparisons also show that T. nelsoni is similar to variants of the North American sylvatic type.
